Easy patching using MagicLauncher

MagicLauncher is an alternative Minecraft client, which is doing the whole patching works for you. Just download it, run it and select the mods you need.

In detail:

You need to have a !clean! minecraft.jar installed (if needed, clean up your previous modded minecraft.jar and stuff by deleting the %appdata%\.minecraft\bin folder - followed by (re)starting your minecraft to redownload the needed files)

Download MagicLauncher and place it wherever you want, so you can start it instead of you old Minecraft.exe

Download any mods you normally need, including ModLoader and for sure MineCapes Mod v2.0 and gather the zips (do not extract them) in some directory (you may later just update them if needed)

Now run MagicLauncher and click the Setup button on the lower right

There you can use the Add button to add all those mod zip-files you just downloaded (Important: put ModLoader at the top, MineCapes at the very bottom!)

Make some more changes if you like (e.g. you can create profiles, set the RAM amount minecraft should use, ...)

Now go ahead, log in into your minecraft account and enjoy the capes!

Manually patching the JAR

If you want to patch your minecraft.jar yourself, this is how you do it:
